Asked for Female, 25 Years

I am a medical student, due to heavy work schedule i didn't get time to take bath hence small brown spots started to spread on my chest when I noticed it I started taking daily bath any how. It had stopped spreading but I am worried about brownish dark marks it has left on my chest. I have diagnosed it, it's pityriasis versicolor. Please suggest me better medication for it.
